Book Review: Mission: Impossible to Resist by Jacki Delecki

Impossible Mission Book 1

She’s beauty, brains, and trouble.

With Daddy’s money, life could have been one continuous party for Seattle socialite Jordan Dean. Instead she chose college and a career. She doesn’t have time for love or men—not with work and the responsibilities of raising her younger sister. But when her sister is kidnapped and a sexy Special Ops bodyguard is suddenly thrust into her life, Jordan must let go of her tightly controlled world and accept help from the one man who poses a huge risk to her well-guarded heart.

He’s in the wrong place at the right time.

Delta Operator Aiden Foster was more than willing to do a favor for his buddy, but why did it have to be guarding a spoiled debutante? Aiden has zero interest in babysitting a rich girl for a week, but when he meets the reserved scientist, his opinion does an about-face. When Chinese terrorists kidnap Jordan’s sister, it’s assumed the girls’ billionaire father will be asked for ransom. Instead, the kidnappers want something that could lead to an international disaster. Once Jordan and Aiden discover she’s been betrayed by someone close to her, there’s no one to trust but each other.

Time is already running out, but when Jordan is taken hostage too, Aiden is faced with near impossible odds. Can his beautiful woman use her brains to keep herself and her sister alive long enough for him find them?

My Review:

This story was like quicksand; it sucked me under and wouldn’t let go. It’s not like I struggled very hard to escape it, though. Aiden and Jordan were immediately captivating. It didn’t take much for me to love Aiden. I am a sucker for a military hero, after all. I adored Jordan. She’s brilliant and spunky while at the same time has this deep need to please the family around her that I really connected with. Her need to do everything Her Way in spite of the many professionals telling her that might not be the best option rubbed me the wrong way. But watching her curb those tendencies allowed me to quickly work past my irritation. I especially liked seeing how vulnerable Aiden gets with Jordan. And the closing scene of their story was of particular enjoyment to me. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author.
